FARE-REGISTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 666,469, dated January 22, 1901.

Application filed April 2, 1900. Serial No. 11,156. (No model.)

To (LZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. CooLEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brock port, in the county of lWIonroe and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Fare-Register, of which the following is a specification.

One object of my invention is to provide a fare-register and means for actuating the same capable of indicating and registering any desired one of a large number of fares, while requiring but few selections to be made in the device used to operate the register.

Another object of my invention is to provide a register in which the motion of a handle in two directions or of two kinds shall register a fare the value of which shall be determined by the additive sum of the motions in each of such directions.

An important feature of my invention consists in means for accomplishing this lastnamed result by a motion of such handle which shall be the resultant of two of the primary movements of such handle.

Still further objects of my invention are as follows: first, to provide an indication of the kind of fare registered and also of the total value of any cash fare registered; second, the construction of a total or trip registering mechanism adapted to so cooperate with the other above-mentioned features of my invention as to secure a total registry of the number of fares collected or passengers carried, and, third, to so providefor the registration of a fare by one of the movements of a handle that the character of such fare registered will be determined by the amount of the movement imparted to such handle and that that fare only will be registered which stands for the maximum motion imparted to such handle.

In carrying out my invention I make use of mechanism shown so far as consistent only diagrammatically in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a top view of my register and a portion of the actuating-rods R and R thereof and with the top of the case A of the register removed. Fig. 2 shows a front view of the register with a portion of the front of the case removed and with the actuating-rods R and R shown only in section. From this figure in order to avoid confusion some parts are omitted, but such parts'are fully shown in operative relation in succeeding figures. Fig. 3 shows a plan view of the mechanism shown in Fig. 2 with all such mechanism seen above the dotted line Z a removed. Figs. 4, 5, and 6 illustrate details of the mechanism for communicating motion from the actuating-rods R and R to the racks operating the internal mechanism of the register, as will be explained. Fig. 7 is a plan view of detached portions of my register, showing the mechanism for securing the indication of the total cash iare registered for any one fare. Fig. 8 shows details in the construction of the mechanism for actuating the total-passenger register and also parts of the total-indicating apparatus. Figs. 9, 10, and 11 illustrate details of such cash-indicating apparatus, as will be explained. Fig. 12 is a view from the righthand side, Fig. 13 a view from the rear side, and Fig. 14 a top view, of the mechanism by means of which the registry of only that fare is secured standing for the maximum amount of one of the motions of the handle Without the registration of any fares standing for a lesser amount of such motion. Figs. 15, 16, 17, 18,19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 28 illustrate details in the mechanism of the operating-handle and the means by which in registering any desired one of a large number of fares the movement of such handle receives the desired limitations. Fig. 2b shows in diagrammatic relation the several fares which may be registered by the operation of the operating-handle of that modification of my register shown in the other figures of drawings arranged in such a way as to show the relation between the amount and character of the motion of such handle in connection with the fare registered thereby. Fig. 27 is a repetition of Fig. 26 divided oif into several squares, contained within which are seen the fares which may be registered by the use of six limiting-stops, four limitingstops, two limitingstops, or no limitingstops, as will be explained. Fig. 29 is an enlarged top View, and Fig. 30 an enlarged end view,taken from the front side of the register, of the operating parts made use of to comm unicate the motion of either rod R or R singly or both of such rods together to the cash-fare indicating and registering mechanism. Figs. 31, 32, 33, and 3t are respectively enlarged end views, taken from the front side of the register, of the ratchetwheels 25 ,25 ,15 and if, the cooperating and hinged pawls p p p and p and the bars b b and b, which are made use of to register a fare corresponding to the maximum motion of the rod R without registering any one of those fares corre sponding to lesser motions of such rod. Fig. 35 is an enlarged end view from the rear of the register similar to Fig. 13 and shows the mechanism made use of to cooperate with the pawls p p p and p to prevent the registry of a fare corresponding to a motion of the operating-rod R less than the maximum motion imparted to such rod. Pawl 1) and bar Z) alone appear in this figure, as the other pawls and bars are concealed behind them. Fig. 36 is a top View of the parts shown in Fig. 35. Fig. 37 showsin en larged top view similar to Fig. 7 all of the parts shown in Fig. 7 to the right of the supports j" and j and to the left of the parts carried by shaft 3 The springf and gear g as well as the portion of the shaft '8 carrying the same, are also shown. Fig. 38 is an enlarged sectional view similar to Fig. 9, taken through the center of shaft 5 of all the parts carried by such shaft except gear g, which is removed. Fig. 39 is an enlarged detail view, taken from the front of the register, of the rack r and the short rack 0', arranged to engage therewith. Fig. a0 is an enlarged detail view taken from the right-hand side of the register as seen in Fig. 1, showing the mechanism connecting the pawl p with the rack '2', by means of which the rack r engages the rack 7' when the pawl p is raised in the manner and for the purpose to be ex plained. Fig. 41 is an enlarged detail view taken from the front of the register, showing the pawl and spring f and the parts used to communicate motion from one to the other. Fig. 42 is an enlarged end view of the ratchetwheel as seen from the rear of the register. Fig. -t3 is an enlarged end view of the hub c and the projection in thereon as seen from the front of the register. Fig. 4% is an enlarged view of the collar 0' and sleeve projecting therefrom as seen from the rear of the register.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

For the sake of clearness such a plan of lettering has been made use of that the ratchet-wheels are designated by the letters '6 to inclusive, the racks by the letters 1* to 0' inclusive, and the gears by the letters 9 to g inclusive. Byemploying such a sys tem of lettering the illustration of teeth on these ratchet-wheels, racks, and gears has been dispensed with in some of the figures, but such teeth are shown where necessary to indicate the details of construction.

Refer to Figs. 1, 2, 3, 29, and 30. In connection with the registering mechanism con tained in the case A, I make use of two rods R and R, rotatably supported by means of the brackets and j, at any suitable height, preferably near one side of the car.

Refer now to Figs. 4, 5, and 6. Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view through the center of the rod R of the disk 0 and the gear 9 Fig. 5 is an end view of the disk and Fig. (3 is an end view of the gear g from the rear side of the register. On the rod B there are rigidly secured the disks 0 and c in the manner clearly indicated for the disk 0 in Figs. at, 5, and 6 by means of the keyway :0 in the rod R and the key w forced therein. Each of these disks 0 and c carries a pin, as indicated at 2 in Figs. ii: and 5, working in an opening in the gears g and g", as indicated in Fig. 4. These disks 0 and o are so assembled and secured upon the rod R in conned tion with the gears g and g which are freely rotatable upon such rod, that a rotation of the rod R over to the right carries with it the gear {1 but not the gear while a rotation of this rod R over to the left carries with it the gear 9 but not the gear The conformation of these gears g and g relative-to the disks 0 and c, respectively, is such, as will at once be seen by reference to Figs. 4, 5, and 6, that nearly a complete revolution of the rod R is possible in either direction without. imparting any rotation to one of such gear. Phe gear g meshes with a rack 2', whereby the rotation of the rod R over to the left moves the rack r to the left. This rack "I" carries with it a rack-bar r, secured to which is seen a rack r, engaging a spur-gear on the shaft .9 to which gear g is rigidly secured the ratchet-wheel The gear g and ratchetwheel t are freely revoluble on shaft .9 to which is rigidly secured the spur-gear g. A spring-pawl admits of the return of rack 7 without the backward rotation of the shaft 8 and the spur-gear g" thereon. This gear 9 engages a gear 9 on the shaft .9, on which also is secured a gear 51 engaging a gear g on the shaft 3 on which also there is secured the register-wheel (Z carrying numerals 0, ,77 ,77 (4 ,77 44 ,77 6, 7,77 8777 9. This register-wheel (Z is the first one in a train of similar wheels d d d', located, respectively, on shafts s" s s s. The 000 eration of these registering-wheels by means of suitable gear located on the same shafts with such register-wheels is substantially the same as that already well known in the art and by means of which a complete rotation of any one of such register-wheels (I? (77 (Z (l results in just one-tenth of a rotation of the next succeeding register-wheel tothe left. The angular movements over to the left,which may be imparted to the rod R by means of the operating mechanism yet to be described, are such that the motion thereby imparted to the system of register-wheels (Z (I (Z (Z (1 shall be sufficient to register twentyfive, fifty, seventy-five, or one hundred cents. Such to the left.

registering-wheels may record tOtaLcash-fare receipts up to nine hundred and ninety-nine dollars and ninety-nine cents. The gear g is arranged to engage a rack W. This rack r carries at its ieft-hand end an upwardly-extending bar o as indicated in Fig 2, which in turn carries the horizontal member b having slots therein which engage the two pins y g, carried by the rack r, as indicated in Figs. 1, 2, 29, and 30, whereby the rack r is capable of being moved horizontally for a short distance without carrying with it this rack r. The amount of motion which may be imparted to this rack independently of motion of the rack r is just that amount which, if imparted to the rack r, would effect the registry of twenty-two cents, whereby for an y rotation of the rod R over to the left which would be sufficient to effect the registry of any sum exceeding twenty-two cents, an equal rotation of such rod R over to the right would effect the registry of a sum just twenty-two cents less than that effected by such rotation over The rack r carries guide-plates h and W, through which are arranged to slide the upper ends of the bar I) and combined guide and rack r respectively, which are connected by the barb, arranged to move horizontally through the guide piece 727. This rack r also carries the barsj and j, at the lower ends of which are formed, respec tively, guides 7t and 7L3 for the lower ends of the combined guide and rack bar r and bar 11 respectively. The rack formed on the combined guide and rack bar r is arranged,as indicated, to engage a spur-gear g, rotatably supported upon a stud carried by any suit able arm, j, projecting from the side of the rack r. The upper end of the guide-bar 7L7 carries a rack r supported by an arm 71, front the bracket jand engaging a spur-gear 9 located on the rod R and immediately behind the disk 0'. (Seen in Fig. 2 in dotted lines and more clearly shown in Figs. 3, 29, and 30.) The construction of this dish 0 and the gear g and the cooperation between such disk and gear are similar to that already described between the disk 0 and the spur-gear g, whereby it will be understood that the rod R is capable of motion over to the left without imparting any rotary movement to the spur-geang while the rotation of the rod R over to the right carries with it the spur-gear 9 which in turn results in a downward movement of the rack r carrying with it the guide-piece h and thereby also the bar I), and at the same time also the combined guide and rack bar r and bar The rack formed on the upper end of this combined guide and rack bar r engages the spur-gear 9 which in turn engages a rack formed on the upper surface of the rack-bar r and results in a movement to the left of such rackbar r relatively to rack r, carrying with it the rack r and the bar I). The proportions of the gear g and g are such relative to the amount of angular movement over to the right which may be imparted to the rod R in the manner hereinafter to be explained that the rotation of such rod R over to the right to anyoneof four predetermined points results in a movement of the rack r to such an extent as shall effect the registry of five, ten, fifteen, or twenty cents. The racks 7", 9*, and r are normally returned to their neutral positions by means of suitable springs ffif, and f respectively. Ne have then means provided by which the rotation of the rod R over to the left to any one of four predetermined points results in a registry of twenty-five, fifty, seventy-five, or one hundred cents, while the rotation of such rod R over to the right to any one of four predetermined points results in the registry of three, twenty-eight, fifty-three, or seventyeight cents. The mechanism is such, as will at once he understood, that the result of the rotation of the rod R over to the left, in com bination with a rotation of the rod R over to the right, results in the registry of either twenty-five, fifty, seventy-five, or one hundred cents, and added thereto either five, ten, fifteen, or twenty cents. In a similar way also it will be understood that the rotation of the rod R over to the right, in connection with a rotation of the rod R over to the right, results in the registry of three, twentyeight, fifty-three, or seventy-eight cents, and added thereto either five, ten, fifteen, or twenty cents.

In the registry of any one of the abovementioned fares it will be understood that the bar 19 is moved to the left by means of the mechanism already described an amount standing exactly forthe amount of cash fare registered. Refer now to Figs. 2, 7, and 3'7. This bar I) carries at its lower end a horizontally-disposed rack r engaging a spurgear Q12, revoluble on the fixed shaft 3 This spur-gear g carries a pin cooperating with a similar pin on the collar 0 in such a way that the rotation of the spur-gear Q12 over to the left carries with it this collar 0, which is also freely revoluble upon the shaft 8 In asimilar way the rotation of this collar 0 over to the left is communicated to a spur-gear g, also freely rotatable on shaft 8 and which meshes with and communicates motion to a spur-gear g rigidly secured upon the shaft 3 There is also rigidly secured on shaft 3 a spur-gear g engaging still another spurgear 9 rigidly secured upon the shaft 8 A spring f is so secured to the gear 9 as to tend to rotate such gear g over to the right, whereby this same spring f tends to rotate the spur-gear g over to the right by means of connections between such spring f and such gearghconsisting in the gears g g and 9 A spring f connected to spur-gear g and to the collar 0, tends to rotate the collar 0 over to the right relatively to the spur-gear g. This springf is not of sufficient strength to operate the gear g against the spring f Refer now to Figs. 9 and 38, which showin a IIO horizontal sectional view the shaft 3 and all the parts carried thereby except the spur-gear 9 The collar carries a sleeve extending through the spur-gear g, and to this spurgear g there is rigidly secured the ratchetwheel 6 In this ratchet-wheel 25 as seen in Fig. 42, there is formed a slot n, and in the end of the hub or sleeve formed on the collar 0', as seen in Fig. Mflthere is also formed a slot at. A sleeve a, movable longitudinally upon the shaft 3 carries a radially-extending projection m, as seen in Fig. 43, which is arranged to enter the slot n in thehub of the collar 0 and theslotnflformed in the ratchetwheel 25 when these slots at and a register with each other. This registry between such slots it and it occurs only when the collar 0 and the spur-gear g are so disposed to each other angularly that the pin on the collar 0 engages the cooperating pin on the spur-gear g. The projection m and the slot 71- are so proportioned that they are always in engagement whether such projection m and the slot 01 are in engagement or not. The hub c terminates in the end toward the rear side of the register in a grooved collar 0 A spring f, working at its rear end against the washer or collar e tends to force this hub 0 out toward the front side of the register and thereby also the projection m on such hub 0 into the slots a and it whenever a registry between such slots is brought aboutin the manner to be explained. The amount of longitudinal movement of this hub c upon the shaft 5 is such that when the projection m falls in the slots n and n the larger portion of this hub c falls within the rear surface of the disk A pawl p pivoted atj is arranged to engage the ratchetwheel 15 As indicated in Figs. and 40 in a view from the right-hand side of the register, this pawl 19 is connected by a link F with a lever 1' which is pivoted atj and carries at the end thereof, extending toward the front of the register, a rack 1', which is the counterpart of the rack 7- The cooperation of this pawl 13 and rack r is such, by reason of their connection with the lever that when the pawl 13 engages the ratchet-wheel the rack r is not in engagement with the rack r to prevent a longitudinal movement of such rack 1. It will of course be understood that this rack r is so supported by any suitable means (not shown) against longitudinal movement as to effectually obstruct any longitudinal movement of the rack 1. A spring-barf which may receive any suitable support, as 7' at its right-hand end, is arranged with a tendency to spring downward against the smaller portion of the hub 0 and also toward the front of the register. This spring f, as indicated in Fig. 11 in a view from the rear side of the register and also in Fig. l1, has a slot formed therein arranged to be engaged by a pin g at the lower end of an arm 2', carried by this pawl if, whereby any downward motion of i the right-hand end of the pawl 12", such as occurs when it is released from the ratchet results also in the moving of the springf upward so far as to admit of its springing forward toward the front of the register and resting then on top of the larger portion of the hub 0 and against the disk 0 The normal tendency of the springf is to cause the pawl 9 to engage ratchet-wheel i5 and to disengage rack r from rack r When the pawl p is free to be operated by the spring f this spring f bears against hub 0 at its larger or smaller diameter, according to whether the hub o is toward the rear or the front of the register. The rack r carries a projection 7: which engages the link i articulating with the lever a, pivoted at This lever i articnlates at its left-hand end with the link a which by means of its connection with the right-hand end of the lever i1 pivoted at j, communicates motion to such lever i resulting in a longitudinal movement of the hub 0 upon the shaft 3 because the lefthand end of the levei 2' engages the groove in the collar 0 on such hub c. It will be understood that this operation of the hub c does not in any way change the position of the pawl 19, as the spring is not lifted by such operation, but is forced toward the rear of the register.

Refer now to 2, 7, 8, and 37. The rod R, having supports at this point j and 7' carries a sector of a disk D. A similar sector of a disk D is seen on the rod R, having similar supports, of which but one,;j is seen. In a point in the periphery of each of these sectors, directly under the center of their respective rods when such rods are in their neutral position, there is seen a notch engaged by the rollers t and i These rollers t and 2' have hearings in and are connected by rod 'L', sliding vertically through fixed guidesj and 7' A rotation of either of the rods R or B, it will be seen, results in a depression of the bar i carrying with it the crank-arm i secured upon the rockshaft i working in suitable fixed bearingsj and j This rock-shaft i carries on the end thereof toward the rear of the register a crank-arm t whereby a rotation of this rockshaft 1' communicates motion, by means of the connecting-link 2' to the lever 17, pivoted at j within the register-case A. This lever i articulates at its left-hand end with a sliding bar 2 held to the left and against the pin 7' by means of the spring f. The upper end of this bar 1" terminates in a hook arranged to engage the pawl 19 and release the same from the ratchet-wheel i when by the rotation of either of the rods R or R the bar *6" is depressed. The movement thus imparted to this sliding bar i is suflicient to first release the spring pawl 19 from its ratchet-wheel and afterward by the cooperation between the cam-surface "t on this bar 1" and the fixed pin j this bar t" is forced to the right at its upper end in such a way as to release again this pawl p. The beveled surface at the upper-end of this bar 71 admits of the return of the bar 2" to the position shown in Fig. 2 without affecting the position of the pawl 136. This bar t" carries a connecting-link i by means of which, in the manner indicated diagraminatically,the totalregister 13 maybe actuated. This total-register B, for the inspection of which the opening a is provided in the case A, asseen in Fig. 2, is actuated, as will be seen, every time that either one of the rods R or R is rotated over to the right or over to the left. All the fares that may be registered by my register are registered by the rotation of one or both of such rods R and R either to the right or to the left, whereby it will be seen that by the registry of any fare, whether resulting from the rotation of either one or both of such rods R and R, the totaLregister B is operated.

The operation of the mechanism already described, and illustrated in Figs. '7, 8, 9, 10, ll, 37, 38, 39, 4-0, 41, 42, 4:3, and 44, whereby the indicator-wheels d, 01 and dl are caused to indicate any desired cash fare that maybe registered and also to retain such indication until the beginning of the registry of the next fare, is as follows: Before any fare is registered or indicated by means of the mechanism already described the collar 0 and the ratchet-wheel t are assumed to occupy such a position relatively that the notches n and a form one continuous slot, and that the hub 0 is forced toward the front of the register by spring f, so that the larger part of the huh 0 is entirely within the washer 0 and that spring f therefore rests on the smaller part of the hub c -that is, all of the parts are in the position shown in Figs. 7 and 37 except spring f which rests against washer 0 and hub 0 which is forced toward the front of the register by springf. The projection 2' on the rack r is located thereon so as to lie a little to the right of the link i". In registering the first cash fare then the rack r is advanced to the left simultaneously with the rack r", in the manner already explained, by the rotation of the rod R over to the right or over to the left, or by the rotation of the rod R over to the right, or by the rotation of the rod R over to the left or to the right in connection with a rotation of the rod R over to the right, by means of mechanism yet to be explained. The rotation of either of such rods actuates the bar 2', and by means of the lever i rock-shaft t arm 1', link of, lever 2'", and bar 2" the pawlp is momentarily released from ratchet-wheel Wand is allowed to immediately reengagesuch rz-ttchet-wheel '6, because the hub e is at this time forced toward the front of the register with the projection to thereon in the notches n and n, as such notches n and n are in registry. linn'iediately after the pawl 19 has been released from the hook on the bar 2" as the rack r is moved farther to the left the projeetion 2' thereon operates the link 2'", as already described, forcing the h nb 0 toward the rear of the register; but as the slots 12 and a still register when the projection 2' has passed the link 1' the hub 0 is again forced toward the front of the register bythe spring f. However, at this time the operation of the hub 0 has in no way changed the operation of the other-parts of the mechanism. The motion of the rack r to the left causes the rotation of the gear collar 0', gear g, and ratchet-wheel thereon. The rotation of the gear g is communicated, as already indicated, through the gear g 9' g to the fare-indicator wheels 01 61 01 carried bythe shafts R 3 and 5 respectively. The pawl 19 engages the ratchet-wheel i3 and holds the same against backward movement atfthe completion of the registry and indication of the fare, and upon the return of the operating mechanism, yet to be explained, to its neutral position rack r moves to the right, carrying with it gear 9 but collar 0 does not return with gearg as it is held in engagement with ratchet-wheel 25 by the pro jection m. Just before the completion of the return movement of the rack r the projection 2' thereon operates the lever 2', in the manner already'clearly indicated and described, in such away as to force the link 2' toward the front of the register, whereby the hub c is forced to the rear ofthe register by the operation of the lever 1' which releases the collar 0 from the ratchetwheel' and then the spring f operates to return the collar 0 to its neutral position relatively to gear 9 being the position shown in Figs. 7 and 37; At the completion of the return of rack r toits neutral position projection 2 has passed to the right of link 1'", so that as rod ii is movedupward, operating the total-- register B and also engaging once more pawl 9, without, however, at all affecting the position of'such pawl. At this time the pawlp itwillbe noticed, is in engagement with the ratchet-wheel 6 still holdingthe wheels 01, L1, and al so as to indicate the fare just registered. At the commencement of the registry of the next succeeding fare by the downward movement of the bar t" the pawlp is raised momentarily from the ratchet-Wheel if, and as the collar 0 and the ratchel-wheel 25 are not in such a position at this time that the slots n and n registert he hub e occu pies such a position that as a result of the raising of the pawl 19 the springf rests upon the largerportion of'this hub 0 and hence IIO the pawl 27 remains out of engagement with rying a units-wheel d cooperating with a the ratchetavheel $12. It will be understood from the operation of the parts as already described, that at this time the rack "r is brought into engagement with the rack a. The result of this is that the operating mechanism is prevented from further forward movement by the locking of the rack r and that the ratchet-wheel as well as the gear 5], g 9, and g under the influence of the spriugf are caused to return until the pins carried b Y the gear and the collar en-' gage each other, at which time, as the slots 91 and n register, the hub 0 is forced toward the front of the register by the spring f, which results in the springf dropping from the larger to the smaller portion of the hub 0 and carrying with it the pawl 12. This pawl 11 again engages the ratchet-wheelt and rack r releases rack a. All of this occurs before the projection 6 has moved far enough to the left to be opposite the link i". The result of this is to necessitate a return of the indicating mechanism nearly or quite to its neutral or Zero position before any fare can be registered, and hence to necessitate the correct indication of any fare registered. After the rack T has been released from the rack r the projection 2' operates, by means of the link i the lever i and the mechanism connected therewith to force the hub 0 toward the back of the register-case and against the spring f; but since the collar 0' and the ratchet-wheel 6 are in such a position at this time that the slots n and a register and since the spring f is upon the smaller portion of the hub 0 this movement of the hub c does not in any way affect the operation of the apparatus, and when the rack 7' has moved to the left, so that the projection is at the left of link 1 hub c again returns to its former position and rack 1*" proceeds with the indicating of the second fare in preciselythe same manner as the first fare. From this point the operation of the apparatns in registering and indicating the second fare is precisely the same as that in registering and indicating the first fare.

Refer now to Figs. 2, 3, 12, 13, 14c, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36. Upon the rod R are rigidly secured the series of ratchet-wheels t t i 15, each of which has only one tooth therein. Arranged to engage the one tooth in each of these ratchet-wheels, respectively, are seen the pawls 19 p p 19 hinged to the bars I) b b N, respectively. The collars c c c c a serve to separate these ratchet-wheels and at the same time to furnish suitable guides for these hinged pawls. Each of the bars 19 b Z) b carries a springpawl, respectively, p p p 19 each arranged to engage a units-registering wheel upon a return of the operatingwheels. The pawl 13 is arranged to engage a ratchet-wheel B, which carries with it a units-registering wheel (1 cooperating with a tens-wheel d to register fares of one kind. The pawl 19 engages the ratchet-wheel t cartons-wheel (i The pawl 1') similarly engages a ratchet-wheel i carrying a units-wheel (Z cooperating with a tens-wheel (Z while the pawl 11 engages a ratchet-wheel 25 carrying a units-wheel (Z cooperating with a tens-wheel (Z These registoring-wheels d, (Z (Z (1", (Z (1 (1 and d are carried by the shafts s 8", .9 s, and 8 respectively, as indicated. I have shown in the drawings only a units and tens wheel operated by each of the pawls just mentioned. ln each series there might be added a wheel for hundreds and, if desired, for thousands. The teeth on the ratchet-wheels i i t i are so disposed angularly relatively to each other, as indicated in dotted lines in end view from the rear side. as seen in Fig. 13, and as seen also in Figs. 31, 32, 33, and 34, that they form a continuous rack in which one after the other of the pawls 12 19 1) 11 respectively, may drop in the order named on the angular motion of the rod R over to the left. To the rear of the collar 0 there is seen a gear g, the function of which will be explained later, and to the rear of that the collar 0, carrying the toothed sector 6 The teeth in this sector 29 engage the spring-pawl p", which by means of the spring f is held over to the right against the action of the teeth on this sector 23 This pawl 13 is hinged to one end of the lever i pivoted at 9' and articulating at its other end, as seen in Fig. 13, with the link working at it s upper end in a suitable fixed guide h The upper end of this link e is arranged to lift the lever 7 pivoted at j, when by the action of the toothed sector 15 the lever 1' is forced downward. The construction, it will at once be seen. is such that there is only one point in the combined system of wheels t t 15 1i in which the pawl 11 may engage a tooth and only one point in which each of the other pawls p 19 13 may engage a tooth. It will further be seen that a given angular motion of the rod R over to the left, as seen in Figs. 2, 31, 32, 33, and 34:, or over to the right, as seen in Figs. 13 and 35, will bring the pawl 13 into engagement with its corresponding tooth and that still further angular motions of such rod R in the same direction increased by an equal amount will bring successively into engagement with its corresponding tooth each of the pawls 19 19 19 Each of these pawls except 1) after having been brought into engagement with its corresponding tooth is raised up out of engagement, so as to lie upon the periphery of the corresponding one of the system of wheels '6 i if i, when by the continued angular motion of this rod R in the same direction the next pawl in the series is brought into engagement with its tooth. The lever 2' cooperates with the arm 7: also pivoted upon the rod j to carry the rod F". The spring extension f of this lever 11 carries a pin 3 which works in a circular slot 2" in the rear face of the collar 0 This slot 71" in this collar 0 terminates in a beveled portion at the upper and left-hand end thereof, as seen in Figs. 13 and 35, whereby the rotation of the rod R over to the left, as seen in Fig. 2, o over to the right, as seen in rear view in Figs. 13 and 35, results in forcing this spring-armf on the lever W toward the rear of the register. As seen in Figs. 13 and 35, this slot i at its upper left-hand end opens out to the periphery of the collar 0 Starting, then, with the parts in the position indicated in Figs. 13, 31, 32, 33, 34c, and 35, an angular motion of the rod R over to the left, as indicated in Figs. 2, 31, 32, 33, and 31-, or over to the right, as indicated in Figs. 13 and 35, which for the purpose of this explanation we will sayis sufficient to result in the engagement of the pawl 19 with the notch in its corresponding ratchet-wheel 6 whereby the bar b is operated, causing the operation of the register-wheels (l and d, which in the drawings are arranged to register free rides. This angular motion of the rod R results in a series of engagements between the springpawl 29" and the teeth on the sector t forcing the upper end of this pawl 19 over to the left. After each of such actions the spring f returns the pawl 19 to the position indicated in Figs. 13 and 35. At the beginning of the motion of the collar 0 over to the right in Figs. 13 and 35 the beveled termination of the slot 'i' forces the outerend of the spring f toward the rear of the register, so that the pin 7 rests against the side of this collar 0 Then at the beginning of the return of this rod R to the neutral point, carrying with it this collar 0 and causing such collar to move over to the left, the cooperation between the right-ban d tooth (in the case assumed) of the sector 25 and the pawl 19" forces the left-hand end of the lever i1 downward, because this sprin g pawlp cannot be moved to the right.

This results in a lifting of the lever so' that the pin 1 rests upon the outer periphcry of the collar 0 This action takes place only upon the completion of that amount of angular motion of the rod R over to the left, as seen in Figs. 13 and 35, as shall stand for a movement of the bar suflicient to advance the wheel (Z just one notch by means of the spring-pawl p engaging the ratchetwheel 4*. At this time then the action of the lever 2' and the link 7: has forced the lever W upward, carrying with it the rod i, thus lifting all of the pawls p 13 p p out of engagement, so that no one of such pawls, except the last one brought into engagement, can engage the tooth in its corresponding ratchet-wheel t t if, and the parts remain in this position until by the return of the rod R to the neutral or starting point the pin 31 drops down through the opening in the rear face of the collar 0 at which time the parts again assume the position indicated in Figs. 13 and 35. Thus it will be seen that the angular motion of the rod R over to the left and back again to its neutral position results in the operation of one and only one pair of register-wheels (1 and (1 d and 01 (l and (Z or (Z and d and that which pair is operated depends upon the amount of such angular motion of such rod R. It will also be borne in mind that it is during the return of the rod R to its starting-point the selected or desired pair of registerwheels is operated and that also during such return of the rod R to its neutral position one and only one of such pair of register-wheels is operated, and that no matter to what extent the angular movement of the rod R. has been carried that fare only which stands for the maximum motion of such rod R is registered and no one of the fares which would stand for a lesser motion of the rod R can be registered.

It will of'course be understood that suitable guides and supports for the racks 9", W, and W, as well as for the bars b b b and b, are formed in the side of the register-case A. Where it is impracticable to show in detail the manner of supporting any part or member of the mechanism on account of confusion which would result from showing all of such supports, theyare merely indicated diagramlnatically.

It has thus far been explained, then, how that a motion of the rod R over to the right results in a registry of three, twentyeight, fifty-three, or seventy-eight cents, and that if such motion of the rod R be over to the left the resulting registry will be of twenty-five, fifty, seventy-five, or one hundred cents, and

that if the rod R is moved over to the right:

it results in the registry of five, ten, fifteen, or twenty cent-s, according to the amount of motion of such rod, and that the combined rotation of the rod R over to the right or over tothe left and the rotation of the rod R over to the right results in the registry of three, twenty-eight, fifty-three, or seventy-eight cents and added thereto five, ten, fifteen, or twenty cents orin the registration of twentyfive, fifty, seventy-five, or one hundred cents and added thereto five, ten, fifteen, or twenty cents. The motion of the rod R over to the left results in the registration of transfers by the register-wheels (Z and d and of tickets by the register-wheels d and d and of passes by the register-wheels d and d and of free rides by the register-wheels d and (Z Simultaneously with the registration of a cash fare the total fare collected is also indicated by the indicator-wheels 61 c1 and d.

I will now explain how when a transfer, ticket, pass, or free ride is registered such. registery is also indicated.

Refer to Figs. 1, 2, 3,12, and 14. The rod R carries, as already mentioned, gear g. This gear engages rack r which is connected by bar b with rack r operating gear g on shaft 3 A second gear g is also carried by this shaft .9 which gear g engages rack r rigidly connected to the indicator-tablet d, upon which the words Transfer, Ticket,

Pass, and Free are so arranged that, according to the height to which this tablet (Z is raised by rack 1'" through the mechanism connected therewith, as already described, by the operation of gear one of such words will appear back of one of the corresponding openings a a a a in the front of the register-case A. The gear 9 and the collar 0 are constructed in a manner similar to gear g and collar 0 (see in Figs. 4, 5, and 6) and forasimilarpurpose. Thus when rod R, as seen in Fig. 2, is moved over to the right the gear g is not operated; but a motion of rod R over to the left operates gear g and the mechanism connected therewith to indicate, as described, the fare registered by such movement of such rod R over to the left. It only remains, then, now to explain how the desired rotary motion both in direction and degree is imparted to each of these rods R and R to secure the above-mentioned results. For this purpose reference is made to Figs. 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25, in which Fig. 15 is a View of the operating-tube R in its proper position relative to the rods R and R, which are shown in sections. Fig. 16 is a plan view of the tube R the rack T and the connections between the same. Figs. 17 and 18 are side and top views, respectively, of that part of the stopplate E which is below the dotted linez z of Fig. 15. Figs. 19 and 20 are top and end views, respectively, of that part of the stopplate E which is below the dotted line 2 5 of Fig. 15. Fig. 21 shows the lower end of the operating-tube R with the handle H thereon, and Fig. 22 shows a plan view of such operating-tube R and the handle H thereon and also the handle H. Fig. 23 is an enlarged sectional view of the lower end of the tube R and the handles H and H connected thereto. Figs. 24 and 25 are similar views of the tube R and the handle H. Fig. 28, to which reference is also made, shows in perspective the lower end of the operatingtube R and the handles H and H grasped by the hand of the operator in position to register a fare.

Referring to the several figures just mentioned, a vertically arranged and supported tube R is arranged to rotate freely in bearings f 7' and 7' formed on and extending to the left from the bracket H, as seen in Fig. 15, which bracket is arranged also to slide freely upon the operating-rods R and R in such a way that such rods may also freely rotate in such bracket H. This tube R carries at its upper end a sliding and grooved collar 0, to which motion longitudinally upon this tube R and independently of longitudinal motion of such tube is communicated by means of the connecting-rod 1' connected at its upper end to this collar 0' by means of a pin extending through a slot in the side of this tube R as seen more clearly in Figs. 23, 241E, and 25. This connecting-rod "L articulates at its lower end with a bell-crank lever 2', supported from the tube H by means of the projection j and to the other arm of such bell-crank lever there is connected the link 71 This link 77 as indicated in Fig. 23, is connected to the lever Pivoted atj and arranged to operate this lever i are seen three buttons 11, '0 and r with stems having varying lengths, whereby the depression of the buttons 02', c and v results in movements of the collar 0 upon the rod R varying in amount exactly according with the lengths of the stems on such buttons. A springf is arranged, as seen in Fig. 23, to hold the parts in the several positions indicated in such figure. Two collars c and c are secured upon this tube R as indicated in Fig. 15, and between them there is supported a loose collar 0 carrying a stud upon which there is arranged to slide freely a tubular bolt 2' This tubular bolt W is connected at one end to the bell-crank lever i, the other arm of which is arranged to engage the groove in the collar 0. This bellcrank lever 1' is pivoted upon the arm 7' carried by the collar 0 The tube R is arranged to rotate freely within this collar 0 An upward or downward motion of this grooved collar 0 upon the tube R results in a longitudinal movement of this bolt 1' varying in amount according to which of the buttons o, v or o is depressed. This bolt t works in a vertical groove in the stop-plate E in such a way as to admit of a vertical movement being imparted to this tube R varyingin amount according to the depth to which this tubular bolt extends within the slot in this stop-plate E. The groove in this stop-plate E is arranged in steps, as indicated in dotted lines, whereby when the tubular bolt '6 occupies the position shown in Fig. 15 a slight vertical movement either up or down is permissible for this tube R The amount of such motion up or down is increased by depressing the button '0, and such motion may be still further increased by depressing the button U2 and again still further increased by depressing the button 22 Hence we have four degrees of motion permissible in a vertical direction either up or down for this tube R according as no'button or as the button 11 or c or v is depressed. Refer now again to Fig. 15. Secured upon this tube R is seen the grooved collar 0 A rack r is arranged to slide vertically in suitable hearings in the bracket 7' and also in the bracket 7' each of which brackets is formed upon the plate H. This rack 1' engages a spur-gear g", splined upon the rod B. This gear g works in a suitable opening therefor in this plate H, whereby the motion of this plate H 1011- gitudinally on the rods R and R carries with it this gear g", which being splined upon the rod R is arranged to impart rotary motion to such rod at any and all points longitudinally of such rod. Extending to the left from this rack r is seen an arm arranged to engage the groove in the collar IIO 0 whereby a vertical movement of the tube R causes a rotary motionof the rod R. The amount of such rotary motion in either direction which may be imparted to the rod R depends, as will at once be understood, upon whether no button or the button 1; or the button 11 or the button 22 is depressed. Upon the rod R there is splined a gear 9 which is arranged to slide freely upon such rod R longitudinally thereof and also to revolve in a suitable opening therefor in the lower end of this plate H. At the lower end of this plate H are seen bearings in the brackets 9' and 3' through which a rack r engaging this spur-gear 9 is arranged to slide freely back and forth in a direction transverse to the rod R. This rack r is arranged to be operated to the right or to the leftby the rotation of the tube R by means of the combined collar and arm 2', splined upon the tube R and articulating with a connecting-rod 2' connected to such rack r by means of pin whereby a rotary motion of such tube R communicates a rotary motion to the rod R, as seen more clearly in Fig. 16.

Refer now to Figs. 23, 24, and 25. Asmall shaft 6 is arranged to rotate in bearings 3' and j in the horizontally-disposed tubular handle-piece H at the lower end of the tube R Upon this shaft 2' are rigidly-secured arms 2' 2', and 2', against which the stems on the buttons 4), v and b, respectively, are arranged to bear. These buttons Q24, 0 and e have stems of varying lengths, whereby the depression of the button '0 imparts a rotary motion to the small shaft 2' and the depression of the button 01 imparts a-greater rotary motion to such shaft and the depression of the button a) imparts still greater motion to such shaft The end of this shaft t' coming just under the vertically-disposed tube R carries an arm i articulating with the lower end of the link Z37, the upper end of which, as seen in Fig. 24:, is connected through a slot in this tube R with the collar 0 whereby this collar 0 may be moved longitudinally on the tube R difierent amounts, according as the button e v or o is pressed upon. A spring f is arranged, as seen in Fig. 25, to normally hold the parts operated by the buttons v v and 12 as well as such buttons in the position indicated in Figs. 15, 23, 24:, and 25.

Rigidly secured upon the tube R", as seen in Fig. 15, are two collars 0 and 0 between which are secured the stop-plate E. Through the arms on this stop-plate E the tube R is arranged to rotate freely. A suitable pin r is arranged to support this stop plate E against rotary movement,while permitting of a vertical movement of such stop-plate E with the tube R The interior cylindrical surface of this stop-plate E is cut out in such a way, as indicated in Figs. 19 and 20, as to admit of a rotary movement being imparted to the stud t and the collar 0 carrying such stud and arranged to rotate with this tube R varying in amount according to the V61- tical position of such stud t relatively to this stop-plate Ethat is, with no one of the buttons '0 t 12 depressed the rod R may be rotated slightly in either direction. With the button '0 depressed the amount of such rotary movement which may be imparted to the rod R is increased. Such possible rotary motion of such rod R is still further increased by the depression of the button o and still further again by the depression of the button 1). It will be borne in mind that as the stop-plate it" is raised and lowered with the tube R the amount of rotary motion which may be imparted to this tube R varies, according as no one or which one of the buttons e v or o is depressed, and that, too, regardless of at What point in its vertical movement such tube R may be.

I have then clearly described and eX- plained means whereby any one of ten r different amounts of rotary motion in either direction for the tube R may be secured and similarly, also, means whereby any desired one of four amounts of vertical motion in either direction up or down for such tube R may be secured. The rotary movements of this tube R result in a rotary motion of the rod R. R result in a rotary motion of the rod R. The several parts of my register are so proportioned relatively to each other that the several degrees of motion of the several kinds which may be imparted to this rod R as already described, are such as to secure the operation of the several parts of my register, as already explained, resulting in the registry and indication of the several cash fares above indicated and of the transfers, tickets, passes, and free rides.

I will now describe the several operations of the handle necessary to secure the registry and of course the corresponding indication of the several fares which may be registered, as indicated in Figs. 21 and 22.

Simply pushing the handle up without pressin g a button registers a three-centfare. Similarly pushing the handle up and pressing the button 2), v or 0 registers a twenty-eight, fifty-three, or seventy-eight cent fare. Thus pushing the handle up secures an operation of the register-wheels sufficient to register a three-cent fare, and the amount of such registry is increased by twenty-five or by fifty or by seventy-five cents, according as the button 2), '0 or v is pressed upon. Rotating the handle over to the left without pressing any button registers a five-cent fare, and the amount of such fare is increased by five cents, ten cents, or fifteen cents, according as the button e e OMJ lS pressed upon. Hence the combination of the movements of different amounts to suit the different fares to be registered results in the registry of any one of the following fares: eight, thirteen, eighteen, twenty-three, thirty-three, thirty-eight,

The vertical movements of this tube forty three, forty eight, fifty eight, sixtythree, sixty eight, seventy three, eightyeight, ninety-three, or ninety-eight cents. Pulling the handle down registers twenty-five cents, and by pressing the button 1;, "v or c the amount of such registry may be increased by twenty-five, fifty, or seventy-five cents. The combination of the different movements of such handle downward with the rotation thereof over to the left results in the registry of any one of the following fares: thirty, thirty five, forty, forty five, fifty-five, sixty, sixty-five, seventy, eighty, ninety, ninetyfive, one hundred and five, one hundred and ten, one hundred and fifteen, orone hundred and twenty cents. Hence by the rotation of such handle to the left and the movement of it up or down or by the combination of such movement to the left and either up or down we may register any one of the cash-fares indicated in Fig. 26. By rotating the handle to the right without depressing any one of the buttons "0 v and c registry of a transfer is effected, while a ticket, pass, or a free ride may be registered by the rotation of such handle to the right and the degression of the button 0 v or o respectively.

Refer now to Fig. 27. Square 4 contains all of the fares which may be registered by my register using the arrangement herein described and all of the buttons 1;, "0 v v v and o, while by the omission of buttons r and 0; only those fares can be registered which are contained within square 3. Similarly by the omission of buttons o and r and v and o only those fares can be registered which are contained in square 2, and by the omission of all of the buttons i2 '0 c v c r only those fares contained within square 1 can be registered.

The fares which are to be registered will of course modify the arrangements and relations of the several parts of my register and its operating devices, and hence also modifications in the relations which the several fares bear to the different motions of the operating-handle and also of the rods R and R.

In registering a fare by my register the operator or conductor grasps the handle in the manner indicated in Fig. 28 and presses on one or one or more of the buttons c o o c v c and imparts to the handle a rotary mo tion or a vertical motion, either one alone or both together, such as is calculated to effect the registry of the desired fare in the manner already fully described, and clearly indicated, also, diagrammatically in Figs. 26 and 27.

Attention is called to the fact that in the registration of a fare by my register the operating-handle may be moved either in one direction alone or successively in two directions, or in a direction which is the resultant of two adjacent directions, and that when the handle is moved in a resultant direction the same fare is registered which would be registered by the motion of such handle in each of such directions represented by such resultant successively and without the return of such handle to its neutral or central position between such motions.
